Welcome to the Holding Time Podcast. Here we discuss breastfeeding in all it’s complexity - the ups and down, the challenges, the triumphs. Whether you are expectant, a new mother or simply interested, I hope you’ll appreciate the incredible warrior women who are managing to breastfeed babies across the country. This podcast is part of the Holding Time Project, an experimental intervention in chronically low breastfeeding statistics. Through music, art and writing, we’re looking at the reality of breastfeeding and listening to mothers who know a thing or two about how things could be better.

episode 14: Holding Time Featuring Claire G
Claire G We’re sold an idea that it’s this beautiful, natural, instinctive thing. It isn’t.
Claire explores the idea of breastfeeding as a learnt skill and talks about the confidence that comes with experience. She recalls breastfeeding her twins and, previously, an elder sibling who had silent reflux.
"Feeding one child is very, very discreet, generally. Quite often, you don’t notice unless you know what you’re looking for, you’re not going to notice. Feeding two at the same time in public is not discreet at all. And I’ve had to do that a few times".
